Dreaming at Andrea Meislin Gallery

Summer is here, and “Perchance to Dream,” currently on view at the Andrea Meislin Gallery, offers a respite from the heat. The works, by twenty-five artists, “address themes of sleep and intimacy with a variety of techniques and aesthetics.” As the Shakespearean title suggests, not all the photos depict simple, sweet slumber. Rather, they “encourage us to consider the dreams that are not laid bare, to insert our own suggestions into the often enigmatic scenarios.”

Here is a selection of photographs from the show, which is on view at until August 9th. Click on the red arrows for a full-screen view.
